Shit bro... Your muffler bearing is going out.. Get it in the shop before it causes too much damage.

Unless it's an obscene amount of water, it's literally nothing to worry about.

you are wrong it can be a pretty big thing

What's going on is the intake manifold is water cooled, the gasket on the pipes are leaking and anti freeze is leaking into the whole engine
And as you prob know anti freeze is highly flammable and explosive in large amounts

Ford had a problem with cars exploding a few years ago

Trust me I'm a tech

Well he would know more, being a Ford Tech.

I guess I just underestimated the amount of water. It's pretty wet where I live. If it's not cold like it is, my cars blow a little condensation out the exhaust on every startup I've ever paid attention to lol
